Wales may retain its Super League club next season – but only if the Crusaders directors agree to the Rugby Football League's conditions for accepting their plan to enter administration.
The Wrexham-based club has submitted an application to relaunch as a new company after receiving a winding-up order from HMRC, and is due in court next week.
But the directors have been warned by the RFL that they will only retain the Super League place if they agree to provide the substantial investment necessary to pay off a number of debts, including the missing pension contributions that have led to a legal challenge from the Rugby League Players' Association, reports The Guardian.
Both the RFL and the other Super League clubs are keen to retain a Welsh presence after the success enjoyed in recent months both by the Crusaders and the rejuvenated Wales national team, which has earned a place in next year's Four Nations series after winning the European Cup.
The club's chairman Ian Roberts told BBC Wales that he is "99 per cent sure that we'll be playing rugby league in Wrexham next year".
